This toy is his favorite because it reminds him of the time he snuck aboard the space ship and saved the world.

"I told you, Evan, he yearns for space."

"Once again, we are not sending him to space camp, Tommy."

"We don't have to send him to space camp. We could make him one... right here."

"...I've got research to do."

i'm coming in late but i must unrecommend the Dreamers series by David and Leigh Eddings for being bad. The four books are basically just carbon copies of each other, and are so repetitive that I could accurately predict what was going to happen by the third book. Also they rely on deus ex machina to a ridiculous degree, to the point where any conflicts were basically immediately resolved and nothing actually happened. I read the series when I was fifteen and a much less discriminating reader, and even then I thought it was bad. I've never read any other of their novels just because of how incredibly dull it was.

Eddings is one of the really big epic fantasy authors I know entirely by reputation, and also that reputation is 'had one story he spent his entire career writing different iterations of'. So like, this tracks yes.

Who adapts easily to working from home, and who’s climbing the walls?

Korekiyo easily adapts to working from home, doing research and such, while Rantaro is suffering. Like oh man, Rantaro loves to travel and now he can’t and he is just going stir crazy. Luckily he has Korekiyo to keep him grounded, but Rantaro also has to pick up a bunch of hobbies to keep his sanity. (Oh and he also starts watching the travel channel so much. Like too much.)

Who wants to take advantage of not having to stand apart when they go outside on a walk because they’ve been quarantined together anyway, and who’s so paranoid of getting yelled at by strangers (whether that scares or just irritates them) that they insist the pair of them still walk six feet apart?

Neither of them are too paranoid of what people will think. They’re both pretty comfortable walking right next to each other when they take walks.

Who gets really into cooking?

I’d like to think they both do! Rantaro starts it off, it’s one of his many many hobbies he’s decided to learn during this time, but Korekiyo gets super into it too, and it becomes a couples activity for them both to enjoy!

Who gets really into a TV show they’d never thought to watch before?

Like I said, Rantaro gets super into the Travel channel. Also planet earth. He just wants to go but self isolation is telling him to stay and it’s so frustrating. But yeah, Rantaro has never been a big television guy, but now he’s watching so much TV it’s unreal.

Who starts doing improbable musical performances on the balcony/fire escape/by the front window/in the backyard?

I wanna say Korekiyo. All this time indoors has given him time to practice a bunch of traditional instruments from various cultures around the world. He begins to practice them on his balcony. Rantaro gets into learning them as well, and soon they’re basically putting on concerts for the neighbors.

Who gets the idea that now’s a great or at least practical time to get a buzzcut, and does the other try to talk them out of it, sigh “it’s your hair” and relinquish all responsibility, or offer to help so it’s even?

Rantaro gets especially antsy when his hair starts to get really long, so that’s when he has the idea that now is the time to just shave it all off. Korekiyo strongly vetos this idea, and instead offers to cut his hair so it’s even and not a total disaster. (Korekiyo can’t help it, Rantaro’s hair is just too soft to just shave off completely!)

Who starts keeping a journal and calling it their apocalypse log?

Korekiyo. And there is no humor or irony involved, it’s a 100% serious account of 2020: the beginning of the end of the human race. 

Who makes sure they can video chat with everyone else in their lives and who is baffled by technology?

Rantaro definitely takes care of all of the technology stuff, because Korekiyo is utterly baffled by it. Rantaro video chats with his friends all the time, and often time brings Korekiyo in so he can chat, too! Korekiyo isn’t the best with people, so he doesn’t have all that many friends, but Rantaro is helping him become more sociable one day at a time! Korekiyo sometimes even chats with a couple of his friends on his own now! (Rantaro definitely has to set up the video chat for him though!)

Who gets into social media arguments reminding strangers to self-isolate?

I could definitely see Korekiyo arguing with strangers online, because he doesn’t understand trolling. :P

Who starts making weird videos two days in?

I could see the two of them making a goofy ass youtube channel together. Maybe an informational channel about different cultures around the world with Korekiyo focusing on the history and Rantaro focusing on the present day? Or just a funny channel of them being dorks and ranting about different topics together. :P

Whose sleep schedule goes totally off the rails?

They both have crazy sleep schedules, because Rantaro is constantly traveling and Korekiyo is Korekiyo. So neither of them is too thrown off by isolation. That being said, Rantaro is thrown off by being inside so much, and has to go outside a lot just to see the sun.

If they’re in a relationship, do they start sleeping together more often?

Yeah! Rantaro is not travelling during this time, and Korekiyo isn’t busy at his job at the museum because it’s closed, so they both are around each other more than usual. So it’s super nice for their sex lives.

Your whole post about Tommy was so on point, and I liked everything about it, especially this:

"It's just so sad when a main character is trapped in a recurring/love interest role…"

That is so true. Tommy as a character (and Lou portraying him) has so much potential and is pure gold, and every other show would be lucky to have him, but it seems that Tim and the writers don't know what to do with him.

Tim doesn't know what to do with any of the characters tbh. They've all been repeating the same storylines year after year, with minor adjustments made each time to be slightly more ridiculous. The lack of growth for all the characters, over the last few seasons especially, is astonishing with a series that's been on for 9 seasons.
